Price Adjustments and Asymmetry in the Philippine Retail Gasoline Market [PDF]
This paper employs ordered probit, partial adjustment, and vector error correction models to characterize price adjustments in the Philippine retail gasoline market since its deregulation. It finds that pricing decisions of oil firms depend significantly

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Emulsion separation remains a persistent challenge in chemical and process industries due to the metastable nature of dispersed droplets. In gravity separators, the overall separation rate is governed by the formation of a densely packed zone (DPZ) of deforming and coalescing droplets that mediates between the dispersed and continuous phases ...

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Transformer‐based molecular models pretrained on SMILES strings demonstrate strong performance in property prediction. However, these model often lack explicit integration of molecular surface charge distributions that govern intermolecular interactions such as hydrogen bonding and polarity.

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Using a ketal‐protected glycerol derivative (solketal) as the oxidation substrate enables site‐selective electrooxidation that suppresses C–C cleavage on non‐noble catalysts. Highly alkaline conditions promote reactive solketal alkoxide formation, weaken the Cα─H bond to facilitate dehydrogenation, and buffer local acidification, enabling a record‐high

Human‐in‐the‐Loop Swarms: A Bionic Swarm Approach to Real‐World Soil Mapping
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This article introduces the “Bionic Swarm,” a novel system that lowers the barriers to real‐world swarm validation by abstracting difficult hardware tasks to app‐guided human agents. We demonstrate the system's utility through the experimental validation of a geotechnical soil‐mapping swarm algorithm and show superior performance to baseline approaches

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Masked divalent yttrium and gadolinium dinitrogen complexes mediate the fragmentation of white phosphorus, converting P4 into discrete dimetallic complexes of [P4]2– and [P2]2– ligands, and an unprecedented monatomic P2– radical ligand. Structural, spectroscopic, magnetic, and DFT studies reveal insight into the bonding between these unusual Pn units ...

Cteno‐Bot: An Untethered Metachronally Swimming Robot With Magnetoactive Propulsors
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.We present Cteno‐bot, an untethered ctenophore‐inspired robot which swims using metachronally coordinated appendages. A single mechanism controls up to 216 magnetoactive propulsors via a dynamically varying magnetic field. We show that the swimming speed of the robot can be increased without a corresponding increase in power requirement, simply by ...

A Trend Deduction Model of Fluctuating Oil Prices [PDF]
Crude oil prices have been fluctuating over time and by a large range. It is the disorganization of oil price series that makes it difficult to deduce the changing trends of oil prices in the middle- and long-terms and predict their price levels in the ...
